The scarlet fixed would be what we've been waiting for regarding a small form factor cam recording to affordable media with post production manipulation robustness at a price thats affordable with a 3K chip designed for cinema applications, regardless if you're doing any 'special' heavy effects work. I respectfully don't see the wash.

The wash is the scarlet's 3k chip after the debayer filter is ~2k resolution. The 2/3" sensor at T3 will produce a similar DOF as the 1/2" sensor f/1.9-2.8.

The "production manipulation robustness" is only helpful in special situations. Normal grading and even keying can be done just fine on EX1 footage.

But essentially what I said was that those with an EX1 wouldn't have significant reason to buy a fixed Scarlet. Other Scarlet models though will have advantages, but not at that price point. (Anymore than a Red only costs $17,500. A fully rigged Red runs $30-$40k.)
 
How about we just close the thread and resume it when there is an actual Scarlet to compare to whatever actual rev of EX exists at that time.

I think even Red would disagree with this statement. They might say they're the best at their price point, but I think even Jim Jannard would acknowledge that a Sony F35 ($350,000) produces better images than a Red One does. And at 20x the price, it had darn well better.

Nothing against the Red One, it's a great deal for what it is, but ... a Canon 5D isn't a Red One, and a Red One isn't an F35.

You're right - I should have said "teh best cam you can buy, within reason, at almost any price". The F35 is better in many, many ways.
